Ex-Governor Hauser In Washington.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 25.-[Special to the In
dependent. l-Ex-Governor Hauser to-
day received telegram from the mana
ger of his bank, whose estimate is care
fully made as basis for loans TO the
stockmen, saying the loss of native cattle
will not be twenty-five per cent-on pill
grims very heavy. The ex-governorjust
returned from New York and predicts
heavy influx of capital to Montana next
spring.
A memorial of the Montana legislature
was to-day laid before the senate, asking
relief for certain early settlers in Yellow
stone Park.
In an interview this evening Gov.
Hanser said he had while in New York
contaminated all arrangements for the
prosecution of work on the contemplated
branches of the Northern Pacific road
which he is to build in Montana. The
Boulder Valley road will be pushed
through to Butte, the Philipsburg, Bitter
Root Valley and, Helena and Northern
branches will all be built during the year
and several others are under eontempla-
ton including one to Red Bluff, arrange
ments for which will probably be con-
summsted before he returns to Montana.

Indian Killed.

Junction City. was greatly excited last
Wednesday afternoon by the accidental
shooting of young Indian buck, a son
of Big Ok, a well-known Crow Indian.
As near as we can learn, it happened in
this way: Mrs. Dewitt has lately been
given a 32-calibre rifle and was practice
ing shooting when an Indian dog came
running along just at the edge ofthe en-
bankment to the river. Mrs. Dewitt
being somewhat back from the river did
not see the Indian Who was. below the
embankment, but seeing the dog
thought she would try a shot at it. She
fired, and just as she did 80 the Indians
head reached above the level of the bank
and instead of tho dog getting the bullet
she shot the Indian through the head
and he died in short time. The In
dians were very much excited. The
citizens wishing to show that it was
wholly an accident and that they were
willing to do all the kindness possible,
dressed the body in a new suit of clothes
placed it in coffin, buried it as though
he were brother. Rev. Father Brands
of the Grow Mission officiated.
Paul Mccormick nobly opened his
store, giving freely to the Indians of
sugar. coffee, blankets, etc. A mare and
colt were also presented to Big Ok. The
total amount gi7en away was estimated
at $40O.-Gazette.

4 Southern Presid ency,

TheAtlanta Constitution says: NotAins
was ever more certain in American poh-
tics than that Mr.. Cleveland will be the
next Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency. There Ia one thing quite as Ger
tain and that Is that If Mr.. Clevland sur
wives his present term he, and he alone
can lead the Democratic hosts to victory.
No sober and observant man can doubt
either Of these propositions. Our per-
ference does not lead us to write them
down. OF all men living, We would
rather see Samuel ]. Randall President Of
the United States. There is no man that
Georgia would support with such en-.
thusism in convention and field as Mr..
Randall. With Mr.. Cleveland removed
by death, which alone can make the
situation doubtful, Mr.. Randall would 60
into the convention with a majority Of
the Southern delegates. lin passing we
beg Mr.. Watterson to stick q pin right
here and file for reference for the next
ten yeas.) But Mr.. Cleveland is in
health and in the vigor of well-ordered
and vigorous life. There will be no serious
contest for the Democratic nomination.
Mr.. Cleveland will get it with hands
down.

A Peck or Trouble.

Thos. Craig, who has ranch and coal
claim eleven miles west of town seems
to be constantly getting into trouble with
his neighbors and those who have occas-
ion to cross his path. His claim is situ-
ated in the mouth ofa gulch across which
he has two lines of fence running, thus
enclosing the same. 1t frequently hap
pens that parties desire to drive across
his claim, the road around the side of it
being almost impossible. Last week
Johnny McMann was driving across the
ranch In question, when he was halted
by Craig bearing a musket and was
made to turn back. C,aig was arrested
for exhibiting a deadly weapon in a
dangerous and threatening manner, on
the complaint of McMann. His case
came before Justice Kelly, Monday, by
which tribunal he was fined ten dollars
and cost. Craig was ain arrested
later in the week on a similar charge
preferred by G, Pollack, in Justice Hos
ford's court, but by reason of the papers
being loosely drawn, the latter trial has

In Beayerhsad County.

The latest reports from all the ranges
in Beaverhead county continue to be of
the most unfavorable character, and
while large numbers of stock cattle have
already died, the heavy owners fear that
the worst is yet to come. nall quarters
the cattle are poor and weak, and it is
expected that the cold winds of March
and April will chill many more to death
The most discouraging rumors come from
the Horse Prairie, Red Rock and Medi-
cine Lodge sections, and there the loosses
Of range cattle will be very heavy; many
estimating that from 25 to 80 per cent Of
the large herbs will perish. The Ply
mouth Rock Cattle company on Horse
Prairie, will probably be the greatest
suffers, and gentleman who was up
that way last week states that he saw
their cattle dead at every turn, and resi-.
ents of their neighborhood estimated
that the company will lose ], 800 or 1000
head, proportionate losses for others.
On Medicine Lodge the dead cattle are
numerous and hundreds more are brow
sing around, just able to move. On the
Red Rock 1t is not so bad although the
outlook is most gloomy, and there will
be heavy percentage of deaths. On
Sage creek and over in Centennial, as
well as on the upper Blacktail, the snow
il very deep in the valleys, but the south
hillsides are partly bare. and this will
ave many cattle. On the Grasshopper
and its tributaries the appearance Of
things is dismal, and with little feed and
deep snow the losses will be serious.
Those who have been in this vicinity
for years say that they have never seen
such severe winter on stock, and while
all fear disastrous consequences, o num-
ber think that mild spring will result
in diminishing the estimated losses

The Annual Campfire Entertainment. and
Old Folks Bali,

As intimated in our issue of last week,
the G. A. R. camp fire and ball, then in
progress, was a grand success. The two
halls of spieth & Krug's were both
filled to overflowing. In one dancing
was in progress and continued until
early morning; in the other the older
members of society listened to the sing
ing of the old familiar war songs and to
speeches. The music was furnished by
Mr. John Luce, pianist; Mrs. Gen. Will
son, Mrs. A. J. Edsall, Mr.. Jackson, of
Helena; DR.. May, and w. NJ. Award, the
audience, well interlarded with mem
bers of

joining heartily in the choruses.
The first speaker was J. V. Bogert,
who acted as master of ceremonies and
announced the programme. In a brief
and interesting manner he outlined the
history of the G. A. r. and its aims He
paid high tribute to the veterans Of
the war and then introduced Mayor
Monroe.
DR.. Monroe spoke with his customary
vigor and wonted enthusiasm. While
he had fought, bled, etc." on the Con-
iederate side, he was pleased to say that,
with the ending of the war he had laid
asiLe his sword, and after twenty years,
was glad to attend such an entertain
ment as was now in progress.
Hon. w. W. Anderson was next called
for, and much disappointment was
noticeable upon the faces of the audi.
ence when it was announced that he had
just left to reach the tram which was to
take him to his official duties at Helena.
REV. W. W. SPAIN
was next called to the platform and de-
livered very interesting speech. He
called attention to the fact that he was
what is commonly known as "reb."
He related some of his experiences in
the war, and concluded with a grand
apostrophe to the grand old flag under
which he had spoken and which he
would defend with his life's blood,
should occasion require. His speech was
interrupted at short intervals with rap
turous applause.
Rev. R. M. Stevenson spoke next in
his usually forcible and happy style.
After singing, the audience dispersed

What Some Of our Prominent Citizens Fave to
say Regarding County Division.

duty of interviewing the following prom.

The first citizen we met was

divided, the trains could not run until
the divide had been bridged. Rats"

expression from citizen No. upon this
momentous question, we sought citizen
